Radio stations in Kenya provide a great means to stay updated with all the latest news and current information from Kenya and beyond. Since the liberalization of the news media in Kenya in the 1990s, there has been a significant increase in the number of radio stations in the country. This includes those that cater to a specific demographic.

In recent time, more and more Kenyan radio stations that specialize in local content delivery and do so in the local languages, have begun to spring up. Part of the reason for this may be attributed to the fact that the price of radio stations’ licenses is getting cheaper to acquire. This has made it more affordable for those willing to venture into the sector as evidenced by the fact that there were less than 10 radio stations in Kenya in 1999 but this has increased to over 100 in number 10 years after.
